    Background hiss noise in a professional mic. Do i need a pre amp?

    It's silly to put an exact price on the line between "pro" and "non-pro", regardless. Or to even call some mics "pro" and some not, for that matter.

    @moresound: Was that meant for the "how to make 1 varuvuelaizuieujhauvuaueue (whatever it was called) sound like a hundred" thread? That's basically what I was stumbling around trying to say, lol. Big *if* about it even being possible, but it's completely relative to what's "acceptable" to...

    You guys aren't loving reading everything twice and getting to reload every page several times until the "bad gateway".... turns into a good one?! SUPER snobs!

    I know exactly what you mean. Look up equalization on wikipedia if you don't know what that is, and grab the manual for Reaper to see how to use it in that program. Short of copying stuff from those sources, I've told you the way to approach it that's most likely to be successful in as much...

    Make one source sound like hundreds

    The suggestions on recording multiple takes, multiple mics, positions, etc are great and I have nothing to add there, but to answer your question about something that might make it easier.... You may have some luck using a delay that adds some kind of processing to modify the delayed sound to...

    Maybe, it depends on the differences. EQing one or the other or both may get you close enough for your purposes. If there's noise in one or the other, you might be able to eliminate it enough to be acceptable - Download Reaper, pull your tracks into it and start EQing. Make some coffee -...

    CPU Processor Question. (AMD Phenom II 965 BE vs amd phenom ii x6 1045t)

    If they use the same architecture - faster speed. The plugin chain for each bus is processed serially - it has to be because plugin number 2 has to act on what comes out of plugin number 1. I've never actually tinkered with the innards of a full-scale DAW with an elaborate multi-threading...

    mp3 conversion quality question

    I don't know of any better way to wade through codec stuff than double blind tests. Lots of good stuff here: Codec listening test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The most recent one listed there comparing MP3 has the note "Fraunhofer and Helix codecs are several times faster at encoding...

    How do you connect standalone pres with digital outputs to a DAW?

    Almost - every protocol at some level has little chunks of data mixed in with the main data being transferred that basically just say what it is, how many bytes are between this chunk and and the next one - machine A has to tell machine B what's coming so it can be ready for it... So the driver...

    HELP.....External drive error says "drive needs to be formatted"

    CRC failures == dead drive guaranteed. Every single one of them dies eventually. Hope you have recent backups :( What are all these pages of posts talking about? I kinda skimmed over and saw you're already freezing the drive trying to salvage it (guess that's a no for the recent backups, lol...

    Line 6/Cubase panning problem

    Make sure you're using a stereo bus for your main outs. Stereo sound does work for like... music and stuff in a media player, right?

    Background hiss noise in a professional mic. Do i need a pre amp?

    There's like a million of 'em, but sure - I want one of these! Apogee Symphony I/O Module (16 Analog In + 16 Optical Out) | Sweetwater.com It nulls to -30db after 10 A/D and D/A passes - can you believe it?! ....I know you don't know wtf that means, I'm kinda just making a point...

    Background hiss noise in a professional mic. Do i need a pre amp?

    Dude.... no. That's made for a turntable which probably means it has the RIAA curve built into it and it's just... no. Every post thusfar has said "interface". Here's another key term: XLR INPUT. Not XLR to 1/8" adapter or XLR to RCA-style adapter. I'm really oversimplifying here so I...

    Fostex A80 or R8 ?

    WTF are you talking about? Sentences need verbs.

    is it ok to leave your usb or firewire interface plugged into your pc 24/7 ?

    :wtf: @OP There's nothing about those kind of connections that make them inherently bad for anything involved. (Translation - yes, it's just fine :) ).

    Background hiss noise in a professional mic. Do i need a pre amp?

    You're using a real microphone and plugging it into an 1/8" microphone port? Yea, dude... The hiss is, in this case, due to low quality equipment. Get a real preamp and a real A/D converter. They don't even have to be expensive, and there's nothing wrong with getting them together in a...

    KInda bummed, here's why. . .

    Looks like you're right. I definitely remember there being a way to do it before....however... I just looked at a thread I started recently and I see no way to lock it. Weird...
